Speaker 1 (00:05):
Hello, everybody, Welcome to episode five hundred of Prepper Talk Radio.
We got myself, Scott, and Shane in the house. Paris
is at a family event tonight.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
We appreciate him.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
We're sad that he couldn't be here tonight, but you
know what, family comes first, so we totally understand.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
They that is more important, definitely than that our five
hundredth episode.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
And you and I have been here for the full
well mostly the full five hundred, probably four to ninety
of them each roughly. Man, Wow, little nostalgia moment right there.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
We I know what you're saying, but I don't know.
I'm not a very I don't know, nostalgic guy. Just
another show. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
You Do you have any like favorite episodes?

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Oh, I'd have to put some thought into that, honestly.
But you know, we've had some good we'd have had
some good usually with the I would say we've had
some great guests. But I think I think our best
shows have been the two of us or the three
of us. Really honestly, I think I think when when
we're on point, we have a great topic. I just
I just love the conversation. I agreed, it's you.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Know, I will say this, though, there are two recurring
guests that we've had that have been kind of my favorites.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
J R.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Henry No Doubt and Jeff Kirkham.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Are our two most prolific I guess I guess you
could say yeah, I would definitely say though that we've
had I mean, we've had so many really good, good episodes.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
It's interesting because our stats on the podcast versus our
stats on YouTube are so different, like which ones hit
the hardest, or get the search the most, or listen
to the most. But it's it's fun to see what
you guys the audience enjoy the most.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
And UH. Tonight in fashion.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
We're gonna talk about the state of the world. We're
gonna talk about what's popping off in the news and
things that we're keeping an eye on. UH, and we're
gonna rely heavily on what you guys are talking about
in the chat as well, to continue the conversation with
with Paris not being here, but as we're as we're
doing this, those of you guys are on the live

(02:21):
or watching this on YouTube. Over the next week, we're
gonna be doing a giveaway tonight on the Live and
another giveaway that we're gonna announce when this drops on
the podcast across all platforms, we're gonna be doing a
giveaway on that one tonight, we're gonna give away a
T shirt of your choice on the on the website

(02:41):
as well as we're gonna give away two copies of
the Ready Radius to participants who are in the live
and then next week we're gonna give away let me
pull these out. Can't really show you very well, but
we've got some survival fresh to twenty five year shelf life.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Beef, ground, beef and chicken, as.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Well as this handy dandy zombinator. It's the dumbest name,
but a cool, cool little toy, hatchet hammer, a bunch
of other weird stuff, Firestarter and we're not done yet, handwarmer,

(03:29):
rechargeable handwarmer and We'm not done yet.

Speaker 2 (03:33):

week when this goes live, you're gonna have to reply
to those instructions to be able to win the big
prize without further Ado, let's dive into the dodo of

(03:55):
what's going on in the world.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
It seems like we're always talking about this topic, you know.
It's like every time this comes back around, I'm like,
we just did this, and it's just in my head.
I guess, right, It's just well, that's how we end
the month. That's how we usually end the month, and
I think we should continue to do that. But it's
just it goes so quickly, you know, from month to month.

(04:18):
It's just it's hard to keep track of and then
just to try and prepare for every one of these
with everything each of us have is going on, It's
it's kind of I want to say it's burden some,
but it's it's it is burdensome. I don't know the
right word. It's a bit burden some, but it's yeah,

(04:40):
you know, I love the love the the burden, right,
I love.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
The Yeah, it's it's it's a it's a burden of
our kind of our mission.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Right.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
We feel like compelled to do this, that there's a
need for it, and that because of our experiences we
need to.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Share as much as we can. Right. We know that
many of you Yeah, warning.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Voice avoiding worst. We're a warning voice right to the
world and mandate right now.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
And we know many of you guys are more knowledgeable
than we are and stay on top of current events
more than we do. You know you won't do a podcast.
What's wrong with you? People? Numbering right? I don't know.
I don't know what I'm thinking. We said yes to
Paris and so so put him under the bus since

(05:31):
he's not here. Yeah, yup. So yeah, So we started up.
It was like end of twenty fifteen. It was like
November December something like that when we did our first
am radio k Talk Salt Lake City Live AM radio
broadcast through twenty eighteen. When was that was the end

(05:51):
of twenty eighteen, end of twenty November talk and we
did was a k and RS, a little bit of
KRS and that was kind of a yeah exactly, it's
all I'll say. But and then March to twenty two
until now with Paris. So but yeah, I mean, it's
crazy how fast the month, the days of the weeks,

(06:13):
everything goes by. It's and that's that's on my list
as well, you know, of our threat recap, that's everybody's
talking about this. That topic is everywhere. I see it
in YouTube, all types of YouTube videos and news articles
about time, and and of course the earth is spinning
a little faster. It's like, oh, it's like minuscule, right,

(06:37):
It's it's such a slight difference, but it is changing.
And that should be a sign, right, that's it's about,
you know, it should be something to take note of.
But the times are definitely being shortened. The overall schedule
of events I think is being cut short. I don't
know what that means or what that's going to include,

(06:58):
but oh, it's prop side, like it's prop side.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
In order for us to be able to survive these times,
the days have to be cut shorter, right, things have
to get quicker. Otherwise how are we going to withstand it?
How are we going to make it to the end
of the road? Right if the road collapses from underneath us,
How are we going to get to the end of
the road if we're not given a shorter distance to
have to go? Be that as it may, Right, we're

(07:25):
all running down the same same types of things on
our own path, headed towards the apocalypse at breaking neck speed.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
So what do we do? What do we need to
be aware of what is going on.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
My big takeaway that I've been paying attention to the
last few weeks, it's been it's been kind of hot
spots over the Middle East. Gaza is now in a
full on famine according to the UN, according to the
local reporting, like full on famine, and what's Trump doing
about it? What's the world doing about it? They're talking

(07:58):
about trying to end the war. I don't hear anybody
talk about let's find ways to get food and water in.
They're just focusing on.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Ending the war.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
To me, that speaks more of let's just continue to
propagandize than anything else. Yeah, and they're willing to use
those people as as media machine, media fodder.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, and then feel tack. He brings us up. This
is on my list as well. Oh sorry, let me
click through right thing here? Six hundred thousand new Chinese students.
What's that all about? I mean, I know, I have
my my assumptions, I have my thoughts of what that's about.
But where did that come from? You know, it's it's
at a left field right after what.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Have we been hearing about for the last few months.
We're going to restrict visas, We're going to restrict entry,
and then we make a deal. And now six hundred
thousand students, where are they going?

Speaker 2 (09:00):
How are they really? Speechless? I have I have no
I I mean, there's plenty of things I could say,
but I'm not going to at this point about that.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, tell me, tell me you're being invaded
without telling me you're being invaded. Six hundred thousand students,
that's larger than so many cities across the United States.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
It's it's a tremendous amount of people. And you know,
there's a lot of smart, smart people. Guarantee you there're
gonna be some some smart kids, some smart people, and
our country needs good smart individuals. And I think that's
also kind of linked to the AI bubble going on
right now, that the craziness, the insanity in the A

(09:46):
what's going on in AI right now. We can talk
about a few of those things that we're gonna need,
you know, smart people run those facilities right and to
do all the design and engineering and so forth, And
that's probably what some of that's about. But uh, but
the main one that's I think been in the news
is made as Metas data center they're building in Where

(10:10):
is that I've got it written down out is that
the one? Is that a different one in Louisiana there?
Oh yeah, that was That is eighty one percent of
the size of Manhattan. They know. They showed a illustration
of it overlaying the island, and the height and the

(10:31):
width and the length of this thing is just mind boggling.
Fifty billion dollars and apparently they're going to build four
of these things. And that's just the beginning. There's dozen,
I mean literally hundreds and hundreds of more in the
works that I think as many as fifteen hundred fifty
of these extremely large ones, but fifteen hundred overall of

(10:54):
these data centers for AI. This makes no sense to
me whatsoever. I mean, AI is running right now to
an extent. Right We've got all these data centers. I've
I worked on the Facebook one myself. I've worked with Oracle,
I've worked with a number of different data centers here locally,
Utah is kind of a data center hub just because
the work I do, I find myself in some of
these facilities and it's mind boggling the size of these

(11:18):
things and what they're doing, and the cost and the
electronics and the power needs and the cooling the water needs,
like you were mentioning previously, this makes no sense to
me whatsoever. How can they Obviously they're planning this for
future need for processing, computing power and such, which makes

(11:40):
no sense to me.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Still, it's a five to ten year need gap, like
it'll be overloaded in ten years well, and.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
A lot of these are supposed to be online within
before the end of twenty twenty seven. Yep, is what
I hear. And so how does that happen? I mean,
I'm trying to get work at the new Texas Instruments
here in town, and it's a million square foot facility
eleven billion dollars and they haven't even broken ground yet.
They're breaking ground, but they haven't put any footings in
the ground or anything that I know of. And so

(12:10):
again I'm kind of stay on top of that one.
I'm glad or Becca brought this up. Did you go?

Speaker 1 (12:16):
They put a new AI computer farm in northern New
Jersey and it's caused permanent local temperature increase of thirteen
to twenty I didn't know power increase, power bill increase
by two to three x.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
So yeah, this isn't.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Like, this isn't a random thing. So every AI in
data center building dropped into the United States really worldwide,
the space over it is twenty five to thirty degrees
warmer the airspace over it, and so it's affecting bird
migratory patterns, insect and other migratory patterns. It is affecting

(12:50):
the temperatures of everything around it. Like why do you
think they're going to do it in Delta Delta, Utah?

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Right?

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Because nothing else for anybody down there, right and it's
already a desert, but that means have.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
A power plant down there too.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
But that goes into what's happening in the US right now.
We're we're facing a forty decline in available fresh water
over the next five years because of these data centers.
They're calling it climate change. But because of these data
centers and strip mining and all these different like cobalt
and everything else that they use tons and tons of
water forum lithium like all of that, it's going to

(13:27):
be so bad.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
And they're prioritizing that over food over us, over over
the the low indigenous called indigenous people. It's it's you know,
and and what about all the other data centers being
built all over the world. I mean, I know China's
going nuts with their data centers. Obviously, this is a race.
This is a war. Whoever wins the AI, the general

(13:54):
AIG is that would general artificial intelligence uh g AI
wins that were wins the superintelligence war. And so this
is we are at war. This is actually war, and
but it's war on the people. It's war on us.
They don't care give a crap about us, well about
us at all.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
We're the consumers of the technology that spend money out
with them so that they can hold more money. They
don't care to destroy the the economies of small countries.
They don't care to destroy the food manufacturing because what
are they doing. They're moving all the food manufacturing into
labs into I saw this big movement right now going

(14:35):
into what do you call it? Uh, they're converting semi
truck trailers into portable growing stations.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Have you seen that. Yeah, I've seen that.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
It's one of the big investment investment areas that they're
starting to do this.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Grow fodder for the cattle and such. Yeah, and they're
just they're that's what we're moving everything to.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
And they have dollar panels on the roof which then
affects the negative nutrient density and the food. Like there's
this chain of chain reaction that's causing more and more
food mineral and and en vitamin deficiencies, and it's just
gonna get worse and worse and worse.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah, these this like Rebecca coming in here and field Tack.
Everybody's power bills are going up with the dinners and EV's.
It's a whole nutther thing that. Okay, EV's have their
place totally, you know, agree, but but there's a big
butt they are. I see all these uh cyber trucks

(15:43):
around and my first thought is they will be gone
within years. I mean, you won't see a single one
on the road within years, or you'll see far less
because they're they're junk. They won't will not last.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, agreed there, well, and they're all there. The planned
obsolescence of all these new things is getting smaller and
smaller in their windows. Like the cyber truck is gonna
last if what five to ten years max? But the
battery is only gonna last seven years max. So what

(16:18):
what are we doing here? What is the what is
the end game?

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yeah, they're not gonna be People aren't gonna be able
to replace their battery packs, you know, do like that
that Russian guy did who blew up his test like
they didn't want to pay for the battery pack, right,
I mean, it's I haven't heard about that. Yeah, well
there was a couple of years ago. It's a it's
a fun video you could search online that Russian Uh,
he blows it up in like a quarry, just he

(16:42):
just destroys that he was sick of it. But then
that's been a couple of years. But I mean I've
got this huge list things that have blown me away.
Of course. Uh, the hot topics is you know, Washington,
d C. The Federal Fed's taken over Washington, d C.
And expanding from there. Right, they've a party, you know,
right when when Trump announced that, he says, then, well

(17:03):
we'll think about this for other cities as well, And
almost immediately after they said that, they said, now we're
going to try to do this in New York, Philly
and so forth, which, of course people who support Trump
are all hailing it as well. This is great. You know,
we need to make our cities great again. We need
to make them safe again. There's that word safe, right, safe,
saving America mm hm. First Thessalonians five three for when

(17:27):
they shall say peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh
upon them. That's I mean, that's pretty blatant to me.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
That's pretty inspired to bring that up right there, because
that is accurate one percent.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Like it is.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
I'm watching what's going on, and I'm like, I get
it in In d C, they have a I'm gonna
throw the quotes up legal right to do it right,
because they passed a lot to allow it right as
soon as they step outside of DC. It is one
hundred percent tyranny and a lot of the things that
are happening already guess what, it's already in that category.

(18:04):
Like Trump is no friend of the American person. Neither
are the Democrats. Neither are the regular Republicans. They all
have agendas, they all have things they're doing. They report
to someone else, and it's not them necessarily we fight against.
It's it's the powers, it's it's the corruption above.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
It's mm hmm. It is just gonna get worse. Yeah,
we hear about what happened today in Minnesota, and it's
absolutely horrible. But you know where that's gonna go, right,
You know where that's going and I'm talking about the
the mass shooting event. Oh yeah, you know that's that's uh.

(18:44):
And I guarantee what we're gonna hear next is that's
gonna be on Trump's agenda to go there next, right,
Minneapolis on the list National Guard And uh, I don't
I don't want to throw out that that false flag word,
you know, because things, these things really do happen, People
get get hurt, right, things really do happen, and and

(19:04):
you know, of course we can't say for sure. Plus
I don't want to get sued for a billion dollars, right,
like what's his bugget? But they're somehow connected, right, I mean,
I don't want to go there. But if once you
start to see it becomes obvious, I mean, these things

(19:25):
been common obvious, and then we'll see, if you know,
if that gets confirmed. But yeah, Minnesota sets take guns absolutely.
I mean, look at what happens happened to Canada. It's
it's despicable. You can't even carry pepper spray around in
Canada to defend yourself. It's unreal. You can't even carry
a knife around, like, yeah, exactly, too many knife attacks.

(19:46):
So we've got to make those make those illegal. Can't
defend yourself. And then look what's happening in the streets,
all these kids and women getting attacked, and we won't
go there either because.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Well, okay, so this strapped into the chat a couple
of times. I wanted to talk about this too. It's like,
the real idea is another tracking system, right, and then
the smart meters on all of our houses in New Jersey,
there's problems with it, right. They're being build monthly and
they're not even reading them anymore. It's just being build monthly.
And what we're finding is that it's actually increasing the

(20:17):
energy usage in the homes. It's increasing the heat signature
in the homes. It's also because of the wavelengths that
the data is being transported on their reports showing that
it's causing health issues. But then we also combine that, right,
we combine those things. What other things you're tracking data?
Your fridge, you're washer, you're dryer. If they're smart appliances,

(20:40):
they're tracking data.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Right.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
Your phone's already been tracking data for a long long time.
You're all of those smart cars, those vehicles that are
out there, especially all the ones that are from Tesla.
They have eighteen cameras. They're recording NonStop, they're processing data,
they're tracking everything and everybody. And we've seen this already.

(21:04):
If you go back to what happened with ice riots
in LA, they were using drones and local camera networks
to track down individuals for prosecution. We are already in
a complete and total system set up.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Everybody. Go watch the video Field Tech shared on our
Facebook page on the Yes on the emergency prep page
about flock data and oh yeah all that. It's very enlightening.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Well, it's interesting, like we're getting more and more restrictions.
I don't know if you saw this in Utah where
we live. Have you heard what happened with the Bontofold
Shoreline Trail. You can no longer hike it unless you
have a permit. What yep, new logs went into effect.
You can no longer hike the Bonneville Shoreline Trail unless

(22:03):
you have a permit and permits that qualify. You can
get a permit for it, or you can get if
you have a hunter's permit or a fishermen's permit of
any kind, those qualify you as well.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
You have to have it on you to go hiking there.
Like why, I mean, yeah, I have to look at
that because I got the trail. I'm a mile away
from the trail in my house.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Did they you tell Mike saying that lot has been changed?
Did they just un Yeah, they made you permit to
walk it. It was all over the news, and I
was just like, you've got to be kidding me. I
haven't heard about I used hike it all the time
because it goes all the way down by you, all
the way up past me, and like it's just it's
this big, old long trail.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah, okay, Yeah, here says hikers and bikers will no
longer need a hunting or a fishing permit to Oh okay,
so yeah they did say, okay you need a hunting
for proof fishing permit to cross the section of the
Bonnabil Shoreline Trail. So so aparently there's probably too much
people making a good So no, I did hear about
that briefly and couldn't believe it. But you know, that's good,

(23:08):
that's good to know. But yeah, I mean they're trying.
They're definitely trying. They're gonna keep pushing everything they can.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
They're gonna ask for a mile, They're gonna push every
inch and they're just gonna keep pushing and pushing and pushing,
and uh yeah, public land, but what they call is
public land isn't public plan anymore. Our our governments are
no longer public public operating. They're private corporations. They're not
operations for the people.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
That I say to America is it's it's a it's
been a corporation for one hundred years.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Which goes back. Okay, this jumps into another topic. If
we're okay to switch for a little bit, Ye's one
of the things I want to talk about is the
silver shift that's coming in.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Right.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
We've seen silver jumping right, and I'm like, I feel
I've felt this really for a while, but I feel
like things are gonna get nuts in the next three
to five years. And I'm thinking it's sooner than later.
Now I've been thinking five and now I'm like three,
maybe two.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
But I think I.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Think we're gonna see some massive, massive shifts as the
credit system that we're currently using continues to default and fail.
The fact that we've been pulled off of the gold standard,
and before that it was a silver standard like it
used to be a fifteen to one ratio of silver

(24:30):
to gold.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
And what's our ratio now? Eighty eight? Yep, it's been
as high as one hundred and fourteen something like that,
which is crazy high. I mean it was at one
hundred for a long long time, but it's been there
in the eighties for many years. How many it goes
up and down. But did you hear that? I think
it was today or yesterday that the USGS just added

(24:52):
silver to the critical mineral list for the first time ever.
Oh boy. And so people are beginning to wake up.
Financial planners and investors are beginning to wake up to
precious metals and gold. I mean here in the US,
it's still very slow. The retail market is very slow
from investors. Premiums are low. Obviously you'll continue to push

(25:15):
up on record high gold prices. Silver staw has a
long way to go to get to fifty. But by
the end of the year, I'm guaranteeing at least fifty
bucks an ounce for silver. And what does that mean?
That means nothing. My guarantee means nothing. But that's what
I see.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
But here's the thing, Like, so, if anyone you know
who Raffi Farber is, I just shared a link in
in the comments. You guys can go watch this later.
But he's talking about how it has to return a
fifteen one raio just for the basic economics of it, right,
the supply and demand, the usage. But he's talk he
talks about in this clip how the shift is way

(25:50):
overdue and that this what we're seeing right now, this
increase in price, the increase in scarcity is a classic
build up before the credit collapse. And so what does
that mean Right now? Gold prices are about three four
hundred one for spot outs, right, silver is at thirty
eight dollars and fifty three cents. Based on that fifteen

(26:12):
to one ratio, it should be at least two hundred
and twenty six. But both are suppressed. Both are like
way suppressed. I've seen stats saying that gold should be
around thirty five k and silver should be around two
to three thousand per ounce, like when that shift actually
takes place, Holy crud and his predictions are that the

(26:35):
federal government, the federal standard of finance is going to
be completely disrupted in the United States and it's going
to go to state by state or regional economies moving
to a silver and gold standard and We've talked about
this for years like that that that is an inevitability

(26:56):
because history repeats itself over and over and over.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
I think we will eventually be a gold silver stand.
At least the world will be the US, Probably not
because it'll be these stupid what am I thinking?

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Not the CBN they We're going to be the CBDCs
now they're the US.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Oh, I have a brain fart at the moment. The
stable coins. So yeah, I mean it was just pretty
much the same thing, just looks a little bit different.
But h and that will be I think everything is
going digital, Everything is going to be tokenized. But the
big players, the countries, they will not trust that. They

(27:37):
will only trust gold and silver. And the big countries
continue and banks continue to buy gold like crazy. Russia
is actually buying silver as well. China. Who knows how
much they have? Forty thousand tons? Nobody really knows, but
I wouldn't doubt that that's the real number. Even more,
and so when they disclose how much they have, they

(27:59):
will be setting the rules. Just like Trump said a
few months ago, he who has the gold makes the rules.
And why did you say that? I mean that's kind
of where it ended, but there has been a lot
of talk lately and it's got come back around. It
kind of died off and then came back around into
monetizing the US assets, monetizing the spreadsheet or whatever. We're

(28:23):
actually taking gold from forty to twenty two announce to
who knows, five ten or current value thirty three fifty,
thirty four, one hundred or somewhere on there to ten, fifteen,
twenty thousand announced, who knows. But the US has to
do desperate things right now just to bounce their spending,

(28:46):
their spreadsheet, it's and just to stretch it out a
little bit longer so they can do whatever they got
to do they think they have to do to maintain
controller keep the dollar the on top of the you know,
on top of the world, on top of everybody. And
that's been a hard thing for these countries to break
away from it, the US dollar, to get out of

(29:07):
that system, but they are trying, and eventually it will
break into'll crack.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
What's interesting is we're talking about China here and like
what do they really have? I actually saw a report
the other day on their population, So do you know
what their fertility rate is?

Speaker 2 (29:23):
China? Yeah, it's under one. It's under one.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
It's been under one for the last thirty years. However,
over the last fifty years, they're saying that their population
has grown to one point four billion people from five
hundred million people. What's interesting to have that number actually
make sense and work. That would mean that every fertile

(29:50):
woman would have had to produce five children in that time,
which means their fertility rate should be at five point
eight to six percent.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Where are all the people? Who are all the people?
What are all the people? I understand the populations down
to like one point two whereas India is up to
one point five or six or seven billions something like that. So, uh,
they're definitely on downward trend with their real estate problems
and their market problem. I mean, obviously they're communists, They're

(30:23):
they're constantly going to have problems, and so it's a
it's a big problem. And but they hold the gold,
and that's at at some point they're going to say,
you know, we're not so worried about our troubles because
we have gold and this is how much we have,
and you can addit us and and the new standing
price for gold is this, and we'll pay you this
much for your pounce of goal, right, and it will

(30:45):
immediately collapse a dollar and send the whole world into
a into turmoil, into a into a spin. But yeah,
who knows when that's gonna happen or if it'll even happen.
But that's kind of my standing case, is that he
who has a goal is gonna make the rules.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Unfortunately, all right, what else we want to talk about? Oh, geez,
that was a that's a good one. Three Eye Atlas, right,
that thing is constantly.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
In the news. You know what three Eye Atlas is, right?
I can't remember that one three is the third interstell
three I third interstellar object. So it came from out
of our solar system. Uh, and it was spotted by
the Atlas Observatory, and Harvard scientists are saying, this thing
is not uh, is not what we think it is.

(31:38):
It's not a comed it's not uh anything. It's it's oh,
what's the right word, losing the word? It's it's it's
it could be intelligent, right, it's not behaving, it's not
acting like a typical comment that it could potentially be
a spaceship coming this way. And there's all kinds of
talk about that. It's pretty incredible. Well what do you think, Okay,

(32:01):
these Harvard people are saying about this object curling through space?
I mean this does make connections to you know, a
New Testament, Book of Revelations type of stuff. Right, Wormwood
comes to mind, could be a number of other things.
But but you know, my take is that space is

(32:22):
not what we're told it is. It's not at all
what that's for me. It's the heavens. It is heaven,
and so what could be coming towards from Heaven toward here.
And then the interaction between the Sun and this object
right now, the fields of electricity and how they're interconnecting
is very interesting. You got to go watch this guy

(32:43):
called his name is Stefan Burns. He's an astrophysicist and
he talks a lot about how these things are connecting
and how this is just not normal and how it's
really stirring up everything in our solar system. It's very interesting,
really hot topic right now, and there's some there's something
to it as it gets closer to Earth.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
Who's that guy Paris was going to try to get
on the on on it talks about like the.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Oh yeah, yeah, guy Yeah, that's a good question. We
should ask him.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
I forget what him because like nothing that we are
taught in schools is what can be tested or proven
or and what has been tested and proven compete with
those like what is the actual core of the Earth?

Speaker 2 (33:25):
What is space? What is like?

Speaker 1 (33:26):
What are all these things? How do electromagnetic feels really work?

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Right? What is ether energy? Like?

Speaker 1 (33:32):
There's so many things that's like, wait, what how do
things really work? It's it's completely frequency. Yeah, it seems
like a lot of these hidden truths are starting to
come to light and I don't really know what that
means or what's true and what's not true. And some

(33:53):
things have been around for a long time. I've heard
him for you know, many decades, but they're still sticking
around and getting more moreks widely accepted. And I don't
have any of those things written down. But you know,
if you start surfing the shorts and you see one
of those, and they'll start leading you down that pathway

(34:13):
of all these alternative history ideas and where things came from.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
It's it's a very interesting time because if you jump
on you know, Google, and you're try and do Google
search for anything, you get nothing but crap. You get
no good information, You get what they have curated for
you to see to meet their agenda, and it's nothing
is real anymore. Nothing is real.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Well, I like what field tag has dropped. He's like,
there's talk on the Internet, satellites going down. And I've
heard this too, satellites going down, Internet going down over
the next within eight months. Due to the way. It's
interesting too because right now, who's pushing more and more
satellites and more and more satellite connections starlink right, They're they're.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Expanding rapidly right now.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
Another surveillance system, right, data collection like crazy. So's he's
got satellite dishes, he's got cars with cameras everywhere.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Tunnel together.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
He's got the space X, which is as I think,
it's just a sigh ap distraction. But I'm I'm, oh,
my goodness, I don't believe space is even remotely what
they tell.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Us it is. And then you know, starting off with
the eight point eight earthquake in in the come Chatka region,
he just kicked off all these earthquakes and volcanoes worldwide.
They continue, big earthquakes continue to get kicked off constantly.
It's really quite amazing. If you're watching see everything that's

(35:53):
going on out there. There's a site called allquakes dot
com and it shows you can filter out the earthquakes
the past thirty days, the magnitude and so forth, and
it just really seems to me like earthquakes and divers places. Right.
It's and of course with all the wars and rumors
of wars, do.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
You remember do you remember how many disasters we seem
to have back in the eighties and nineties, Well, not
very many, right, So there's I was a kid.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
It's kind of hard to sol track.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
But in the eighties and nineties, we averaged three billion
dollar weather events climate disasters in the US per year.
Now in twenty twenty three in the US and it's
it's a ten billion dollar benchmark now based on inflation.
We had twenty three ten billion dollar disasters in twenty

(36:50):
twenty three, twenty eight in twenty twenty four. This is
just US, but the numbers matching globally. It's the same trajectory.
Like if you don't believe we're in those last days,
I don't know how your survived, Like what your backup
plan is going to be, because holy crowd.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yes, quite amazing. I mean thousand foot spray from Kilauea
fountains a thousand feet high. That's never seen that in
my life. And then you know, Edna's is, you know,
exploding again, volcanoes in Indonesia and Japan, Iceland, Mexico. It

(37:34):
just seems it seems like, you know, of course people
are gonna say, oh, this is normal. This is always happening.
There's always earthquakes, there's all these volcanoes. Yeah, that's true,
there always are, but not like this. This is not normal.
I think that's where people get loaded to sleep as
they think, oh, this is just normal. This happens all
the time. You know, the weather's like this, weather's like that,

(37:57):
all in combination with the droughts and the fires and
the floods and every thing we have. You know, if
when when winter's coming, you can tell, right, you should
be able to tell, if you know you're my age
or even you know, considerably younger, just a child can
tell when when when fall is coming. Our leaves have
already started to change here, but that's because of the
drought conditions. And it is getting a little cooler, but

(38:19):
our leaves are changing already, and I've never seen that
in you know, and August.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Really, I mean like this well and everywhere, and field
tech brings a good point. Weather patterns are cyclical, right,
they have been scord history, But they're also shortening, right,
times and seasons are shortening. It's it's ramping, it's going quicker.
And what's interesting is the media focuses on this intentional

(38:46):
information overload, which is creating anxiety and people. Right, It's
it's not just misinformation, it's just all types of information overload.
It's and it's creating an inability for people to act,
to do, to respond, to know what things to be
aware of and what things to react to. Like, I
don't believe there's any part of our data that's actually

(39:06):
truly secure. You put anything on the web, or connect
anything to the web, I don't believe that any of
them are truly secure. Right, as soon as it asks
permissions to access anything on your phone, it's already too late.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
I don't care if you have a VPM, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
I've seen too much stuff get hacked. I used to
work tech support years and years ago, and I was
just like all the time, It's.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Like, dude, it's so bad, Like it is so bad.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
So now what is the number one commodity?

Speaker 2 (39:36):
Data?

Speaker 1 (39:37):
Everyone's selling the data or the data or however you go,
peacns or peacans, whichever you want to call the data
data Like it is the most expensive, most highly digestible
motive trade right now. It's it's the new gold, right.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Yeah. Well, another thing that just in the past couple
of days which kind of blew me away, Like, you know,
Trump is not the president of peace. I mean, he's
starting all these wars. Look what's he just sent a
destroyer cruiser and a sub down off the coast of Venezuela.
And they're claiming that Iran has manufacturing facility facilities in Venezuela,

(40:18):
manufacturing rockets or something. I'm not sure, but uh. And
they're also claiming that Maduro is illegitimate, which I wouldn't
doubt that, right. I don't know if any leader in
any country is legitimate anymore. But you know, again, where
did this come from? You know, obviously it's tying into Iran.
They want to kick a war off with Iran. That's
perfectly clear to me, is that, you know, all the

(40:40):
talks have been shut down with Iran Iran is not
talking Ukraine, Russia, US. There's there's no ceasefire. You know,
there's some good news. Oh we're gonna talk, We're gonna
eat in Alaska, We're going to you know, have a
photo photo op. You know. They speak for a couple
hours and that's it. Yeah. I think we talked about
that briefly before. But uh, things are not as they're

(41:02):
being portrayed to us. It is meant to keep us
confused and scared, you know, and that and that's a
big part about I think about the COVID thing as well,
is that if you are not if you're scared, you're afraid,
if you're worried all the time, if you don't have

(41:24):
a clearer mind, a clear thought, understand understand your your conditions,
your situations, it's a lot easier for you to get sick.
Your your immune system is going to be compromised, and
you're a lot easier to manipulate. And I think that's
what one of the many agendas that they have is
to really confuse us. And and also I think when

(41:48):
you're confused, you shut down. People shut down. So I
don't even want to see this, you know, just do
whatever do whatever it takes to keep me safe, keep
us safe, right, I don't understand what's going on, you guys,
just take care of it. Yeah, that's okay.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
So yeah, before we jump into the next part, we
got to do a quick break for station identification and
prize giveaway. So all right, cool that station identification just
prize giveaway, guys. This is our five hundred episode, so
we're gonna do something special for those of you guys
who show up every week in our Lives. We're we're
gonna give away a T shirt and a couple couple
of books ready Radius copies, signed, an autographed. So, everyone

(42:25):
that's in here right now, because we can't see who's
in here unless they comment, drop the word prize in
the comments and I'll put your names in here and
then we'll roll the dice.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Here.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
We'll do a share screen so you can see the
prize wheel picker.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
If you've already comment here, we got your name. But
if you're in here and haven't commented, yeah, just make
a comment and you know, put you on the wheel.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
Okay, So while you continue to talk, I'll be typing
these in.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
All right, cool. So we talked about the destroyers let's
see we're talked about. Yeah, tomorrow morning, something very important
is supposed to happen. In Vidia makes their their announcement
their monthly earnings tomorrow, and so, as we know, in

(43:14):
Vidia is their their value valuation is bigger than the
entire German stock market as well as many of other
other countries. And so depending on where that goes, if
it meets, if it slightly exceeds, or if it greatly exceeds,
it's really gonna send it could send the markets into

(43:35):
a spin a spin. Here? Are you sure that's all
the names here? We get like field tag, half of
you guys have actually said something, Okay, Sandra, Rebecca, we
get I've got more in there here, like would you
put prepared guy on there? Huh, just kidding, I.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
Wish we could put I'm trying to be don't kidd

the email on the website prepatoc radio dot com. Now, guys,
the world is crazy. The news is going to scare you.
Everything is going to go nuts. But there is peace
in preparedness. There is safety when you build a robust

(46:18):
system around you, a robust protection system. That is your
food storage, that is your self defense practices, your health.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
And your fitness. That is your water storage, water filtration.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
Right, those are the things we talk about all the time.
The world's going to continue to get scarier and scarier
and more and more screwed up. It's the promise. That's
that's what we know. That's what we've come to expect.
We're in the finals minutes. The doomsday clock says what
eighty nine seconds?

Speaker 2 (46:45):
I think, Yeah, which is I think.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
I think we're probably closer than what they realize. But yeah,
who it gets a little bit a little bit crazy.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
What's the taunesday clock? Just see field tax last comment?
I want to win.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
What's on top of Shane's safeguard those are not to
be to be raffled up.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
That's great. I kind of need that. Yeah, that's part
of the that's part of the plan.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
But yeah, oh my goodness, this world is nuts, and
I'm noticing people and people are getting more and more rude,
more and more short tempered, more easily angered temperatures internally. Right,
our temperament is flaring worldwide more than ever before. All Right,
there's a general sense of godlessness, there's a general sense

(47:41):
of lasciviousness, rudeness, lewdness.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
It's getting really, really, really sick.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
The world is getting sicker, and so you need to
protect and preserve your peace more now than ever before.
I know you had some other ones you wanted to
bring up, Shane.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
Yeah, I do. I've got a few more. Although quickly
I was going to answer Mike's question here large volume
water filter. I thought we had one on our recommendations page.
What was that one? That one pump filter that I
bought that? Yeah, I don't see it on there. There's
the h to go water purefire, which works very quickly

(48:21):
and you can do large volumes with that. That is
a you make your own chlorine bleach with that that
thing is great. Oh no, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, we
are missing that other link. I forget what it was called.
What was it? Do you remember that one was called
Scott Oh that one quortable electric water pump, large high volume.

(48:45):
I'll have that ready for you. Porta. Well, there we go,
Mike Quorter. Well, yep, that's the one. Thank you. You've
answered your own question there and it's there. No, I
don't see it. Let me fix that blind here, which
is not I'll add it back up on that. Yeah,
port Well, that's that's the one. I've got one of those,
and it's pretty cool. It's very cool. You do need

(49:07):
your own power supply with that one. It could be
a little battery bank, could just be a twelve bow
battery that's charged. But other than that, yeah, I get
to Those H two gos are pretty awesome and you
can purifyde a lot of water pretty quickly that way.
But it's not filter, just purified. Obviously a few of
the things I had on my list, which again really crazy.

(49:30):
You know, the US government now owns ten percent of Intel.
US government owns that's terrifying controlling share of Intel, and
they've been talking about oh we should be buying some
of this company, some of that company. So look forward
to that happening here soon. To me, that's called communism, right,
I mean, where the government owns the means of production,

(49:55):
and is that part of the whole investment strategy the
American Fund that Trump's creating. I know what you're talking about.
I think, I think maybe, I think maybe the I
forget what that was called, but I do recall that
that's definitely sneaky. Yeah, definitely sneaky. But yeah, good idea.

(50:17):
We need to do an online symposium stuff forr On
symposium years ago. That's right.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
It failed colossally. It cost me eight thousand dollars. I
have almost zero interest to try it again.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Yeah. Well, there's a problem with with having Trump as
a president, right, everybody thinks everything's okay. Yeah, that's what
happened is first term, and it seems to be happening
his second term as well. Yep. But uh, let's see
what else I hear I had on here as well.
Uh oh, you heard about the cracker bell thing, right,

(50:49):
the not an issue, Oh my gosh. And then of
course Trump making it illegal executive order, uh to burn
the American flag that's just you know, although I would
never do that, Although that I thought, that's we're how
you're supposed to retire a flag eventually as you you

(51:10):
dispose of it that way, that was how you we
had to retire a frat. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
So the question is is, like, is it is the
law for all types of flag burning?

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Like it's called free speech there Trump, that's what it's called. Yeah,
as much as I mean, of course, yeah, of course.
The next hot topic is is there gonna be a
rate cut in September. It's like eighty nine sure that
they're gonna do a twenty five point basis cut, a
quarter quarter percent cut, which, in my opinion, will only

(51:41):
raise long term rates because the cost of money. Money
has a cost of lending, and that cost is going up,
and you can't just say, oh, hey, we're going to
lower interest rates. It doesn't work that way. Yeah, short
term okay, for the government borrowing it does work that
way for their own short term, right, But for us
in the real world, real rates do not follow the

(52:04):
follow that right in general. And I've got a bunch
of other things, you know, inflation and such here, and
then you know, the US give me the okay, for
Israel to take over the Gaza strip. I mean, it's
just uh dystopian stuff happening left and right. That's so
difficult to keep track of that. And then that's part

(52:27):
of the purpose, I think as well. So Field Tech
did clarify it's the Executive order only covers flag burning
that incites riots and violence. Thank you, thank you. Yeah,
I still think I'm gonna try it. It's not in
public righte yikes? All right, final thoughts, Oh jeez, I

(52:51):
sure hope so Field Tech Interest and Stuff Reliance is
prepping and it seems like I do see that online
and although you know, our channel is honestly it's doing nothing.
It's been stagnant, very slowly growing, and it's not being
recommended and and you know, honestly, we don't know what
to do about it.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
Well, I think it's in certain groups, it's it's going
to increase, right, it'll resonate with people. But like since January,
we've seen SOFO Survival go out of business, We've seen
Augustin Farms has reported lower numbers, Thrive is shutting down.

(53:33):
They're the clean one of the cleanest, highest grade quality
freeze dried foods.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Out there. It's just the brand they are. I think
it's rebranding. They have the other their other brand, the
Peak Fuel Peak.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
Fuel, that's still there, but it's like they're two different companies, right.
The whole Thrive marketplace and everything.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
That's the way, But.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
We're seeing downturns in a lot of those areas in here,
so who knows what really is gonna happen. I think
more and more people are waking up urgently, but people
who have been awake for a while or thought they
were awake are are letting the foot off the gas
and saying, I don't need to do this anymore.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
Because nothing's changing.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
Fatt it's hitting Yeah, I agreed, Yeah, you, Mike, Peak
is meals Thrive as ingredients and and even then it's
interesting too. It's also like if you look at it,
if you're looking for ingredients, you need to check out
food store deep food storage depot. They have the cleanest
that I've ever seen, and they were always competing with

(54:37):
Thrive and Peak on food grade quality, so they they
are top top grain quality nutrition and.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
You can find a link over on our recommendations page.
Where is that or do we have because we have
the channel and moved.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
So it's we're gonna drop some links tonight for you.
I so you can see it on website, but also
in the Emergency Prep and self Reliance will drop those
links as well. Sounds good to me, I mean good,
I mean T shirt. The T shirt winner was Rebecca.
We had Rebecca won the T shirt and then we

(55:16):
had why did and you Tah Mike won the books. So, guys,
we're about out of time for tonight. We want to
thank everyone for being part of the show. You guys
have made this worth it for us. Right, it's a
risk for us to go online and share prepping content, right,
it puts us in the spotlight, the spotlight that we

(55:37):
really never wanted. But back in twenty fifteen, when we
were urged and urged and urged, as much as we
didn't want to do it, we would on the air
because we felt like we needed to. We felt like
we could help people and those who were constant listeners,
repeat listeners. Thank you, Thank you for asking us to
continue to do this content. We appreciate you. We we

(56:01):
I'm still shoot that it's five hundred episodes. It's incredible
what we've done here. Final class from.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
You Yeah, I think, yeah, echo, exactly what you're saying.
You know, you guys are awesome, so much fun chatting
with you guys every single week. Uh, it would be
nice to to continue to grow this. You know, I'm
gonna I'm I'm in. I'm gonna stick with it until
we can't do this anymore. You know. It's it's hard
to do every single week. We're all very busy, and

(56:29):
that's that's no excuse, That's just an excuse, right, It's
just it's mindset. We got to do hard things right.
And and that's you know what I want to talk
about in the future. Let's talk about endurance. Have a
whole episode talking about enduring to the end, right, because
that's what it's about. And you know, if there comes
a point to where we have to say, you know,
we can't do this anymore, it'll be a sad day,

(56:51):
you know. But we've we've done it once before, so
who's to say. And it was when Scott was expecting
as well, right again, so I know this is going
to be hard for Scott to continue going on and
being ready week after week with a new one coming
and and uh, you know, we each have growing families
in different ways, and but man, we'll keep doing this

(57:12):
as long as we can amen to that.
